Who is The Greatest White Fighter Ever?

Big show makes my top 5,

these threads detract from how many great white boxers there have been. people who really following boxing, know that out of the top 20-25 boxers of all time, at least 5 are white. Whites only make up like 15% of the world's population as well.

it's just because most people who know boxing, only relate it to the "Ali, and Tyson" eras, rather than looking at boxing through a proper historical scope.

now, in this contemporary fistic era, there's just as many top white boxers as any other. as the years go on, I think the number will only increase due to globalization, and the eastern european boxing scene.

also, it depends on how you define the term "white." I mean, who is white? Non-hispanic white boxers only?


I just don't think these threads do justice to the great white boxers, and perpetuates the myth that there have not been a **** load of great white boxers.

As you mentioned, Greb is obviously #1.

I'd have Benny Leonard at #2. Fitzsimmons next.

May be controversial but I would probably have McLarnin above Pep.
